This page originally only included hyperlinks to congregations that had a Wikipedia entry. At some point, off-site links were added to every congregation. I fear this will simply become "listcruft" that can be found in more complete form at the Reform, Conservative, WUPJ, etc. pages (mostly linked to at the bottom). Shouldn't this list be primarily for the congregations that are already listed on Wikipedia - or am I way off and this should be a more inclusive list which can include any congregation named "Emanu-El" or the like? I'd appreciate others' opinions. - JerseyRabbi (talk) 16:56, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
I am not sure I understand the new changes in the list. Several synagogues listed on the NRHP are being identitied separately. However, only 2 of those synagogues have a link to the actual synagogue. Why are they listed at the top of the US entry giving them "special" status - especially given the 2 column format that has been added to the page (for clarity). Why aren't those synagogues listed by denomination? If the group feels the NRHP is so vital on the Emanu-El page, it now compels us to check other Emanu-Els for such designation and turn this from a disambiguation page on a synagogue name into a mini-NRHP listing. Shouldn't that be a separate page of synagogues which such status? I'm sure many non-US synagogues have similar types of designations. IMHO, the synagogues should be divided by Country and then by Denomination. "Other" is a perfectly good denomination. I do not feel "NRHP" is sub-section that makes sense for this page or for the existing headings we have. Thanks. JerseyRabbi (talk) 14:01, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
NRHP redirects to National Register of Historic Places. Please forgive me for not already knowing what it meant.
This was added to the (dab) article, but NOT as a link (because it would have been a "RED" link). However, I read somewhere that adding an external link (such as "Temple Emanu-El (Houston, Texas)") is allowed on the "Talk:" page for a (dab) article [here!], while deprecated (or NOT allowed) on the article page -- the page of the (dab) article itself.
"Therefore", I am providing this external link here: http://www.emanuelhouston.org/ ([for] Congregation Emanu El - Houston, Texas). (right?) --Mike Schwartz (talk) 09:02, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
The editor who made THIS (22 September 2013) change: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Emanu-El&diff=next&oldid=556134636 apparently did NOT first read the explanation given here [the one that is time-and-date-stamped "09:02, 24 July 2012 (UTC)"] in this section of this "Talk:" page.
IMHO, that might well be [at least part of] the reason why the entire entry (having been turned into a RED LINK, which apparently is deprecated on any disambiguation [“dab”] page) was later deleted.
The situation was not helped -- maybe it was made worse? -- by this (13 December 2013) edit:
... in which the state name was moved to outside the (already red) hyperlink, probably by some well-intentioned editor. That probably made it even more likely that some (future) editor would be tempted to (and would not know the reasons [shown here] NOT to) delete the entire entry for Temple “Emanu El” in Houston, TX.
I think that the entry should be reinstated, WITHOUT being a hyperlink at all -- (neither red nor any other color) -- (and perhaps with a helpful comment, right on the disambiguation page [maybe in a footnote! Would that be OK?] even though some kinds of links are deprecated ... since it is a “dab” page) in article space, to mention
of ... the reasons WHY that [Houston, TX] entry should NOT be converted into a RED hyperlink [nor deleted]).
If someone does start an article ... so that the hyperlink could be a non-RED one ... then, that would be a whole new ball game. But until then, IMHO it should not be (/"have") a hyperlink at all (on the disambiguation [“dab”] page).
Any comments? --Mike Schwartz (talk) 20:48, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
Wouldn't it be better if the article was called something like Emanu-El (Jewish temple), making Emanu-El a redirect to it? --uKER (talk) 06:02, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
